Does Costco ship Kirkland motor oil direct from factory?

I got in on the 2 x 5 quart jugs of Kirkland 0w20 for $24.99 including shipping deal Costco ran last week. The tracking information indicates it was shipped from Omaha, NE which l believe is where the oil manufacturer is located.
Most online orders from Costco l get originate from a huge Costco distribution center in my state. Is it possible that Costco sends all oil orders for the manufacturer to ship directly?
 
Costco has a store/warehouse in Omaha NE. Could be as simple as the distribution center near you (and others) didn't have it in stock or maybe they don't break pallets for onsie-twosie orders so they shipped it from a store.

I bought this deal today (1/21) at the local store (Indianapolis) 2 bottles of 5 quarts each in one box for 25 bucks.
5W30 "full synthetic" Dexos 1 Gen 2 spec.

It was a 3 day sale, but it was posted somewhere on this site.

I ordered last Friday and am out in Southern California.


I also ordered on Friday. Mine has been shipped and is in transit. I won't be using it until April.

All the stores seem to only have 5w30 in stock for $25. The other grades are online ordering only for $29.99, unless they have a sale like they did last week. Hopefully the product sells well enough for them to stock other grades in the stores.

over 18 pages of brand names Warren makes.
Kirkland just one of dozens; also Meijer, Amazon, PepBoys, etc, etc, etc ...

True, in fact I think it's 4 and I believe they even make their own bottles.
 
Mine came from Warren Distribution, Council Bluffs, IA.
Ordered Jan 16th, received Jan 21st. 5 days to Los Gatos, CA.

I just got in on the $25 deal.

Most facilities that "bottle" enough of an item is likely to make the bottles on-site. Almost all bottled water plants I know of make their own bottles. No doubt that Warren does the same.
